guy spends 80 days hiking to and from the south pole, finds some junk food he left for himself. Empty calories become a revelation.

He left for himself?
I don't understand the language so bare with me here....

If he left this stuff for himself, then he would have known what he found when he found the bag.
He didn't get excited until he opened it up and found what was inside.

There must be more to this....

I don't get it. Did he just forget what he packed?

"This is day 86 on my full return South Pole Expedition 2011/2012. I`m quite hungry and about to pick up my last cache by my second pulk which I left on the way in. As a part of my motivational plan I have on purpose not made notes on what goodies I have left behind in the cache.. and on this last one, I didn`t expect very much."

i donno for sure why he forgot what he had in the cache. But after 80 days of slogging, it's entirely possible he forgot.
